Frequently Asked Questions

How do I assign students to seats?

Click a student's name in the unassigned list to select them, then click any empty seat to place them there. Click an occupied seat to pick that student back up and move them elsewhere.

Can I randomly or alphabetically arrange the whole class?

Yes. Random Arrange fills every seat with a shuffled order of your roster, and Alphabetical Arrange fills seats left to right, front to back, in alphabetical order.

Can I customize the number of rows and columns?

Yes. Set any number of rows and columns to match your classroom's actual desk layout before generating the chart.

Can I print the seating chart?

Yes. Print Chart produces a clean, landscape-formatted layout showing only the seating grid, ready for your printer or a substitute teacher's folder.

Planning a Classroom Layout That Actually Works

What Is a Seating Chart Maker?

A seating chart maps every student in a class to a specific desk position, mirroring the actual physical layout of the classroom — rows, columns, and aisles included. It's one of the first organizational tools a teacher sets up at the start of a term.

Why Plan Seating Deliberately?

A thoughtful seating chart can reduce chatter between disruptive pairs, make it easier to spot who's absent at a glance, and give substitute teachers an instant reference for a class they've never met.

Matching Your Real Classroom

Set the exact number of rows and columns your classroom has, and choose an aisle gap to mirror paired or grouped desk arrangements. The grid you build here should visually match walking into the actual room.

Manual Control, Automated Speed

Random Arrange and Alphabetical Arrange fill the entire chart in one click, giving you a solid starting point. From there, click any two students to swap them individually — ideal for making small adjustments without rebuilding the whole layout.

Where Teachers Use This

Setting up a new class layout at the start of a term.
Separating students who distract each other when seated together.
Preparing a reference sheet for substitute teachers.
Planning group-work seating with paired or clustered desks.
Quickly reshuffling seating after a behavior or engagement issue.

Printing for the Classroom

Print Chart produces a clean, landscape-oriented layout with only the seating grid and front-of-room label visible — ideal for taping near the door or leaving in a substitute folder.

Nothing Is Saved or Uploaded

Your roster and seating layout stay entirely in your browser. Refreshing the page clears the chart completely, so download a CSV backup if you want to keep a record of the arrangement.
